Description
The Holocaust radically altered the way many East European Jews spoke Yiddish. In Occupied Words, Hannah Pollin-Galay explores Khurbn Yiddish as a form of Holocaust memory and as a testament to the sensation of speech under genocidal conditions through lenses of cultural history, philology, and literary interpretation.
